Real Madrid can move a step closer to the La Liga title with a win over Alaves on Friday night (9:00pm).
Barcelona’s 1-0 win over Espanyol on Wednesday cut the gap between the top two to just a point, but Los Blancos can extend that to four once again should they come out on top against Alaves.
Zinedine Zidane’s men have been excellent since La Liga returned, winning all seven of their games which, combined with a handful of Barcelona slip-ups, has allowed them to take control of the title race. Standing in their way of an eighth consecutive victory are 16th-placed Alaves, who will be looking to stay away from the relegation zone. Currently, they are six points ahead of Mallorca in 18th.
Almost the absolute opposite of Real Madrid, Alaves have lost six of their seven games, form which has seen them slip closer to the drop having initially appeared safe, and Asier Garitano replaced by Juan Muniz.
